This site's exposition
The children of Parosh
on Nehemiah 7:8-25
Eighteen verses run through clan after clan, each counted only by its ancestor's name and a number: the children of Parosh, of Shephatiah, of Arah, down to the children of Gibeon. The register works by patrilineal descent, the same method Ezra 2 already used to sort a returning people back into their tribes and families. A list that reads as bare arithmetic is doing legal work, fixing each household's place in Israel by the name it can prove.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
He appointed the porters, singers, and Levites, in their places to their work. This is meant of their work in general, which was to attend the temple service; it had been neglected in some degree, but now was revived. God's worship is the defence of a place, and his ministers, when they mind their duty, are watchmen on the walls.
